Road Traffic Accidents involving Pedestrians
Pedestrians are faced with many different hazards every day they walk down the street and as a pedestrian, should you be injured by a vehicle which drives into you, the chances are, you will be entitled to claim compensation.

Whilst we are all responsible for our own health and safety and there is a duty on us as pedestrians to cross roads using appropriate crossings where possible, the duty of care on a driver is even greater as they should always be aware of the roads taking due care and paying attention.

If you are a pedestrian and a vehicle knocks you down you could be entitled to compensation, even if you were under the influence of a substance at the time. Albeit the circumstances are factored in to the amount of the claim.
